The iPad Air 2 marks the further development of Apple's revolutionary iPad design. This newest version of the iPad Air adds a more potent A8X processor, even better cameras, and Touch ID into an increasingly thinner and lighter body.

Great gamer don't strain your eyes , rather pricey but think maybe value is there! ??????????

You can no longer buy the Apple iPad Air 2 from Apple since it replaced the popular model with the simply-titled iPad. This new 2018 iPad is, in essence, little more than an iPad Air 2.5, improving on some areas of the Air 2 while exposing weaknesses in others.

Beautiful classic Apple design; Fabulous screen; Performance still stands up in 2017

The iPad Pro 9.7in is even better; Can't take advantage of split screen view

The iPad Air 2 is undoubtedly Apple's best tablet to date. Its Touch ID fingerprint scanner works well, it's thin, light and powerful and lasts a long time on a single charge. But it no longer stands head and shoulders above the competition.

thin; light; long battery; powerful processor; fingerprint sensor; decent camera

expensive; small upgrade over last year; square screen; no expandable storage

A selection of small but meaningful changes means the best tablet in the world just got even better

Stunningly slim and beautifully made, Screen is better than ever, Vastly more powerful

Very small hit to battery life

Since the launch of the iPad Air 2, Apple has released two new tablets – the larger, 12.9in iPad Pro and more compact iPad Pro 9.7 . These two new tablets aren’t designed to replace the iPad Air 2, but to complement it, with support for official keyboards and the pressure-sensitive Apple Pencil, for...

The iPad Air 2 is a thinner, lighter and more powerful replacement for the iPad Air. It's probably the best tablet you can buy in 2014.

We give this model a 9.5 out of 10 for design, a 9.8 for hardware and a 9.5 for OS and UI. The final grade is 9.6 out of 10 and this is still the best 10 inch tablet (or close) that money can buy in 2014. However, the iPad Air 1 is also a very solid buy, since the price is lower now.

slim; but solid; very light; less glare than many tablets; good battery; loud speakers; good display; good cameras; ultra fast browser; excellent hardware; fast rendering; good productivity

big bezel; long charging; back vibrates a lot; UI getting old

Bottom line, if you have an iPad 4 or older or an original mini, you'll love the improvements in the iPad Air 2. If you already have the Air, then you may not feel the improvements are worth spending hundreds of dollars for and may be happier waiting for the Air 3 or whatever Apple brings us next.

Thinner and lighter than any previous full-sized iPad; Improved camera; NFC chip lets you use Apple Pay for online purchases; Faster than previous iPads; Better sound than previous iPads; Thumbprint reader for increased security and for use with Apple Pay

Incremental updates may not seem worth the purchase to people with the iPad Air

If you liked last year's iPad Air, you'll almost certainly like this year's version, unveiled early last month (along with the 5K Retina iMac) by Apple CEO Tim Cook. The iPad Air 2 features Touch ID, a (much) faster system architecture and an aluminum enclosure that is both thinner and lighter than...

Fast; Continuity feature allows seamless integration with other Apple devices; Touch ID feature; built-in encryption

No LED flash support for photos and movies; camera specs lag behind iPhone 6 models; cannot use Apple Pay via NFC
